The Crocs Rx Division of Crocs has just released their new lineup for Spring 2010. The Crocs Silver Relief and the Crocs Silver Cloud 2. The new Crocs are just as comfy as the other Crocs Rx footwear and have new features that benefit anyone who loves Crocs.

Crocs Silver Relief

The Crocs Silver Relief is an update to the Crocs Relief which is touted as being the most comfortable pair of crocs you’ll ever wear. The Crocs Relief is ideal for arthritis, plantar fasciitis arch pain, heel spurs, swollen/achy feet & bunions. The Silver Relief has all the benefits of the Crocs Relief but is now made from croslite Ag+™ material, making the silver relief model anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and odor resistant.

The Crocs Rx Silver Cloud is ideal for diabetic feet, impaired circulation & impaired sensation. New for 2010 is the Silver Cloud 2 featuring whole sizes. This makes it much easier to fit all shoe sizes. The Silver Cloud is US ergonimics certified to reduce muscle & leg fatigue.

Nano-silver ceramic crystals are combined with croslite material, a unique shock absorbing material that is non-marking, slip-resistant, doesn’t break down, & is bacteriostatic. When this combination occurs, the end result is croslite Ag+. This material which is naturally anti-bacterial, effectively kills harmful strains of bacteria & fungi which are routinely at issue with foot infections, namely bacterial staphylococcus infections & fungal athlete’s foot infections. The anti-bacterial & anti-fungal environment of the CrocsRx Silver Relief & Crocs Silver Cloud can be a critical benefit for those susceptible to such infections.

Microbial tests were performed on the Crocs Rx Croslite Ag+ material. The tests concluded that there is a 90% kill rate for bacteria & fungi and is effective for a one-year period of time. Croslite Ag+ works by a slow, steady release of silver ions which maintains an effective concentration in and around crocsrx silver products. The silver ionic release rate is accelerated by three factors: heat, moisture, & saline concentration. In other words, the hotter & sweatier the feet become, the more silver ions are released to fight the increase threat of infection.

Croslite Ag+ material is effective with or without socks. Silver ions are extremely small – small enough to penetrate the cell walls of microbes, thus easily penetrating the sock material to reach the skin surface of the foot.

Why Silver?

Silver is a well-known, time-tested, anti-bacterial agent. Silver is currently used in eye drops, bandages, wound dressings, burn salve, topical ointments, and various other medical & non-medical products as a means of killing a wide range of menacing bacterial, fungal, & viral microbes. Certain medical conditions make a person more susceptible to skin breakdown, foot odor, & infection. Some of these conditions include:
